Baylor QB commit Kellen Mond was already looking around quite a bit before Bears' coach Art Briles was dismissed Thursday. A Big Ten recruiter just told me he expects Mond, the No. 2 dual-threat quarterback, to decommit today or within a few days because of the news. Mond is also heavily considering Ohio State, Auburn, Florida and others.
He`ll sit out 1 year then he`ll be coaching again like nothing ever happened.

NO...NONE college football program would get within a country mile of Briles right now.
According to USA Today, Briles was the highest paid coach in the Big 12 last year
and he blew it by knowingly recruiting sexual assault recruits and then lying and
covering up for them. A coach might be hired after he murdered someone but not
when he lied and covered up sexual assault situations.
